WWE had an impressive Super Show-Down event in Australia. There were some top notch matches, and it certainly lived up to expectations. Next month the company will host another pay-per-view in a different country. WWE will return to Saudi Arabia for the second time this year, and the PPV is called Crown Jewel.

WWE hosted a PPV in Saudi Arabia in April this year which was called the Greatest Royal Rumble. It was a remarkable show and had numerous good matches. Similarly, Crown Jewel is expected to be an awe-inspiring show, and plenty of good matches are set to take place in Saudi Arabia.

The Undertaker wrestled in Australia this month, and he will participate in the Crown Jewel event. As a matter of fact, Shawn Michaels will return to the ring after calling off his retirement.

The WWE World title and the Universal title will be defended at Crown Jewel. The WWE World champion AJ Styles will defend his title against Daniel Bryan, and this match will be definitely great. The Universal Champion Roman Reigns will defend his belt against Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman.

The highlight of Crown Jewel will be the WWE World Cup tournament. Eight superstars from Raw and SmackDown Live will participate in the World Cup, and the tournament will determine the best in the world. Four superstars have already qualified for the tournament, and the four superstars are - Kurt Angle, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Jeff Hardy.

Here we discuss four other superstars who might qualify for the remainder four spots of the WWE World Cup tournament.

Lashley made his WWE return this year in April, and he is having a decent run. He had an exciting feud with Roman Reigns after his return, and they provided sterling matches. Since the feud with Reigns, he has gone on to lose his momentum, and he had several short feuds against Elias, Baron Corbin, and Kevin Owens.

Lashley teamed up with John Cena at WWE Super Show-Down, defeating Owens and Elias. Presently, Lashley is one of the top guys on Raw, and there is a possibility he could take part in the World Cup.

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor is a former Universal Champion, the first ever Universal Champion. Balor won the Universal title at SummerSlam 2016, but he had to relinquish the title the next day after an injury. Since his return from the injury, Balor's WWE run has been ordinary, and he has not been in the title picture for a long time.

Balor was a top star in NXT, he was the longest reigning NXT Champion. Thus he certainly deserves a big push to become the top guy on the main roster. The WWE World Cup will be an ideal opportunity for Balor, and if he wins it, then it will be highly beneficial for his career.

#2 The Miz

The Miz is still involved in a feud with Daniel Bryan, and he might cost Bryan the title match at Crown Jewel. The Miz is undoubtedly a top superstar on SmackDown Live, and he is likely to participate in the WWE World Cup. However, he has a tiny chance of winning the tournament at Crown Jewel.

Miz's career highlight is quite impressive, and he has achieved a lot in WWE. He has won the WWE title once, US title twice, and the Intercontinental title eight times. His latest feud with Daniel Bryan has been great, and he defeated him at Hell in a Cell. As a top guy of the blue brand, The Miz certainly deserves to be in the WWE World Cup.

#1 Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio is set to return to WWE next week on the 1000th episode of SmackDown Live. This week on SmackDown, it was announced that Rey Mysterio will face the current US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. The two superstars will lock horns to qualify for the WWE World Cup, and it is unlikely Rey Mysterio will lose his first match after returning to WWE.

Rey Mysterio had immense success in the past, and he has won several titles in WWE. He has won the WWE title thrice, Cruiserweight title thrice, Intercontinental title twice. He has also won the Royal Rumble once. It is a great possibility he will win the WWE World Cup and make a mark on his return.
